Been thinking about going from tko to a tkx for a good while. No problems with tko though. Just been wanting to turn up the the power a good bit on my procharged setup so been thinking maybe would be a good idea. Nah. That steeda tri ax aluminum handle broke on me at the bottom of the threads years ago . Went back to a steel handle on the same shifter

I've been going back and forth between the TKX and a G101A for a 66 Nova project. LS7 441 NA. The G101A is the best choice for drag racing, but it is tough to give up that overdrive. I was leaning TKX, but now I'm not sure.

Just found your channel. I’m considering a TKX. Did your TKX have the cryogenic gear treatment? They are supposed to handle 985 ft/lbs with the upgrade. It’s like $1000 extra.
